"They Are Coming"

Several files named "TheyAreComing", including visuals and and sounds. While we don't know exactly what this is referencing yet, we've seem similar mysterious files pop up teasing Tahm Kench and Bard prior to their releases.

Here's what the mark from these new files looks like:

While we haven't figured out exactly how to trigger it, here's a few observations:

It seems to be random and It will NOT happen for you every game.

The symbol seems to show up around 15-25 seconds in.

Seems to work with every champion (personally triggered it on Graves, Gnar, Kassadin, Janna, Rammus, Nautilus)

Here's a few screen shots and a video preview of "They Are Coming" in action:
